nitidez extraordinaria

Found this from my splash shoots from last year. I spent some time cleaning it up and processing it. Here's a thread in the Technique group with a bunch of great water drop shots.

thanks pretenda, tiggra, e&k, Leahcim, and Rain! =]

@Leahcim: Thanks, the background was originally green, but i used my "secret" trick in PS to change the color.

And a fabulous find at that! I can almost reach out and touch those droplets. Very well executed.

Great shot. Amazing how water will react to a disturbance. Large drops shoot up with a main part of the displaced water, but small drops seem to take the brunt of the energy and shoot relatively far up in the air. Nice work.

A fave of mine.

David Swales says:

This is an amazing drop shot. I love these. This is definitely a great example. The shutter speed has really kept the action frozen. I have tried a few of these but none of them is up to your standard. If you get a moment then I would love you to stop by my stream and lok / comment on the ones I have done. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
